Destination Information
Beijing – Beijing is the capital of the People’s Republic of China. With its unequaled wealth of history, Beijing served as the center for the many different empires and cultures that ruled China and has been the heart of politics and society throughout its long history. The ancient monuments, the stories of days gone by as well as the dynamic and modern city Beijing has become today,
make it a destination not to be missed.
From an ancient walled capital to a showpiece megacity in barely a century, Beijing spins a breathless yarn of triumph, tragedy, endurance, and innovation. Don’t waste a moment in this fascinating city.
Temple of Heaven Park
An oasis of methodical Confucian design, the 267-hectare Temple of Heaven Park is unique. It originally served as a vast stage for solemn rites performed by the emperor (the literal ‘Son of Heaven’), who prayed here for good harvests at the winter solstice and sought divine clearance and atonement. Since 1918 this private imperial domain has opened its gates to common folk, who still congregate daily to perform taichi, twirl on gymnastics bars, and sing revolutionary songs en masse. The perfect place for a stroll to relax from your flight.
